I am a 41 years old woman who loves to travel and meet people. I am passionate, curious, talkative, imaginative and creative. I live with David, a beautiful quite and wise man and a beautiful soul!! He is a gardener, landscaper, nature’s lover....
I am a director and a drama teacher, and I used to take care of a troupe of actors with disabilities. I write a lot, especially theater and books about shamanism and totems animals. I committed myself for years for access to culture and travel for all. I often took small groups of disabled people to visit France, go to festivals, or abroad (Morocco, Hungary, Scotland ...)
I love nature and animals.
My name is Catherine, but my friends call me "Cat" because of my huge love of catsand because of my personality close to them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since 2007, thanks to an association, I hosted at home as a volunteer people who wanted to visit France and learn French. Sometimes for a few days, sometimes for several months. I became friends with some of them and sometimes I visit them.
Now, I would like to continue to meet people and Couchsurfing sounds good to do it ;)

Interests

Theatre (writing and watching), riding horses, travels, cats, shamanism, talking about all and anything, about life in general, and, of course, eating good food ;) !
Trying to learn kung fu for 2 years now... wow! Love it but so hard for me 😜

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meet in 2016 in Amazonia the man I saw in my dreams for 21 years! Incredible but true story... Life is magical. Magic is Life!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you French, theatrical practice, symbolism of totem animals, recipes of French cooking and share stories of lives and funny and surprising annecdotes!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have an old and welcoming house, with a lot of charm, in a village in the beautiful Provence countryside. A private room with a queen size bed, but you must love cats, I have 4, Lilith, Darshan, Dakota, Quaranta, and there are very friendly! David has an old adorable dog named Julio.

My time to talk and do the guide to visit Provence.
We can share some meals and Provençal recipes.
